OVERVIEW

Parker WP17 Flex Head TIG Torch – Precision and Versatility

The Parker WP17 Flex Head TIG Torch is engineered for welders who demand flexibility and reliability in their daily operations. This complete torch package features a 12.5-foot 1-piece power cable, making it an ideal choice for standard bench work and fabrication stations where maneuverability is key. The defining feature of this model is its flexible neck (Flex Head), which can be adjusted to various angles, allowing the operator to maintain the perfect torch angle even in joints that are difficult to access with a rigid torch body.

Rated at 150 Amps, this air-cooled torch handles a wide range of light-to-medium duty welding applications on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The air-cooled design eliminates the need for complex water-cooling systems, keeping your setup lightweight and portable. The 1-piece cable design combines the power conductor and gas hose into a single durable line, reducing cable clutter and improving drag resistance across the shop floor.

Parker Torchology is known for manufacturing high-quality welding torches that meet or exceed OEM standards. This WP17 model is fully compatible with standard 10N series consumables (collets, collet bodies, and ceramic cups), ensuring that replacement parts are easy to find and affordable. Whether you are a professional fabricator or a serious hobbyist, the Parker WP17 Flex Head provides the control and comfort needed for high-quality TIG welding.

Key Benefits

  • Access Tight Spots: The flex neck bends to accommodate awkward welding positions.
  • Standard Compatibility: Uses widely available 17-series front-end parts.
  • Durable Construction: Built with high-grade copper and heat-resistant silicone rubber.
  • Lightweight: Air-cooled configuration reduces operator fatigue.

FAQ

It uses standard 17-series consumables, which are also compatible with 18 and 26 series torches (10N series collets/bodies, 57N nozzles).

A flex head allows you to bend the neck of the torch to change the angle of the tungsten, making it much easier to weld in tight corners or around obstructions.

This is an air-cooled torch, rated for up to 150 amps. It relies on the shielding gas and ambient air to dissipate heat.

A 1-piece cable means the power conductor runs inside the gas hose. This results in a single, lighter cable connecting to the machine, rather than separate power and gas lines.

It can be used on most TIG welders that accept a standard 1-piece power cable connection. You may need a specific DINSE adapter or stud connector depending on your machine's front panel.

The standard rating for a WP17 torch is typically 150 Amps DC at 35% duty cycle.

This specific SKU is typically for the torch body and cable assembly. Switches are usually sold separately or integrated into specific handle kits, but standard WP17 torches often use lift-arc or pedal control unless a switch is specified.
